NATURAL GAS.
A Supply Found on the Chicago
Lake Shore.


CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Natural gas was
found here yesterday. The Cooke Brew
ing company at Twenty seventh street
and johnson avenue has water works
system of its own. A pipe extends
from the brewery under the Illinois
tracks and forty feet into the lake. The
pump used is a new one. The engineer
noticed that it seemed to be pumping
wind. Thinking there was leak in
the lake pipe, it was brought to the sur
face, but was apparently sound. There
was mud on the strainer and this was
thought strange, as it was supposed the
bottom of the lake was sandy. Again
the pump was started, but it failed to
bring up water. Then an examination
was made and when one of the valves
was removed slight explosion took
place. The engineer brought lighted
candle in, when, as he approached the
valve, pillar of flame burst forth,
burned for few moments and then
went out. A one and one-half inch pipe
was inserted in the five-inch one and a
three-quarter inch opening made in the
end of the smaller pipe. From this for
over twenty-fOur hours a fifteen-inch
flame of gas has been burning, and ex-
pertS declare it to be natural gas.

Complaints Against the Methods
of the Minnesota Secret Service
Agency.

Agency.
Complaint was made at police head
quarters yesterday against the Mime
sofa Secret Service agency" recently
incorporated by st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis parties, charging that it was swind-
ling concern. The young man who
made the complaint is from Sioux Falls,
Oak. He came to st. Paul from his ma
tive two days ago in answer to news
paper advertisement of the agency, and
called upon w. F. Garthwait, connected
with the concern, whose offices are In
the Union block. He was required to
pay $40, and in return was given star
labeled private detective" a book of
instructions, some blanks and agency
cards, and certificate of membership
with big red seal. He was to begin
work at once, and was to be given a
commission on all rewards for the cap
ture of criminals. After he had given
up his money he was told that there was
no work at present, but he would be
paid a commission of s. upon each per-
son he could induce to join the service.

parative mildness of the weather, should
it continue, will be greatly in his favor.

STEAM HEATING A SUCCESS
On the Through Trains of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee q st. Paul

halfway.
The experiment of heating trains by
steam has been successfully tested by
only one Western line-the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway-and
now the through trains of that company
leaving Chicago every day at 7:30 p. m,
and leaving Minneapolis at $50 p. m,
and st. Paul at 7:30 p. m, are Systemat-

No matter what degree of cold may
exist anywhere along the line, an even
temperature of heat is maintained
throughout the interior of the train.
As rapidly as possible all through
trains on the various other lines of the
Chicago. Milwaukee q st. Paul railway
will be provided with appliances for the
heating of its coaches by steam.

Syllabus-Held. That under the evil
dence in this case, the question whether
defendant had dedicated highway for
public use across its railroad was one of
fact for the jury. In determining
whether defendant exercised ordinary
care in attempting to travel a highway
known to him to be partially INSTRUCTED,
evidence that there was no other road
10y which he could reach his destination,
held under the facts of this case, to have
been competent. Judgment affirmed.

Harriet A. King, appellant, VS.. Merri-

Syllabus-A grant of the fright, priv
ilege and permission to enter and cut
during the logging seasons of 1854 and
1SS4-5 all the pine timber fit for saw logs
growing upon" certain land. Held to
be contract for the sale only of so
much timber as the grantees should cut
during these two logging seasons. Evil
dence of the surrounding circumstances
under which a written contract was
executed is not admissible to prove the
unexpreSSed intention of the parties or
their prior verbal negotiations. Its use
is limited to throw light on the real
meaning of that which is written in case
of ambiguity, arising upon the face of
the instrument. In an action for the
value of timber cut and carried away
from the land of another, if the defend
ant was an unintentiOnal or mistaken
treSpaSser, or honestly and reasOnly be-
lieyed that his conduct was rightful, the
measure of damages is the value of the
timber at the time it was taken, that is
standing on the ground. Actual notice of
of the adverse claim of the rightful
owner is not necessarily inconsistent
with such honesty of intention or pur-
pose. Following Whitney VS.. Hunting
don, SO n. W. r., 561.) In the exclusion
of evidence the court below proceeded
upon the idea that notice of plaintiffs
claim was inconsistent with good faith
in the sense referred TO, or, what
amounts to the same thing in this case,
that such notice necessarily rendered
defendants willful trespassers. The
evidence as to the honesty of purpose
and interest on part of defendants
ought to have been admitted and the
question at least submitted to the jury
under proper instructions. For this
reason the order granting new trial
must be affirmed. MITCHELL, j.

Syllabus-Evfdence held insufficient
to sustain the verdict. The fact that in
a particular instance person was au-
thOriZed by the owner of property to
negotiate sale of it to one person on
certain terms, the actual transfer to be
made by the owner personally, is not
sufficient to prove authority in such
person to sell and transfer the same
property at prior time and on differ
ent terms tie another and different per-
son. Agency cannot be proved by gen.
eral reputation. Judgment reversed
and new trial ordered. MITCHELL, j.

SUPREME COURT.

A Decision Affirming the Order
in the Famous HolcOmbe Cases.
Other Decisions.
The supreme court yesterday handed
down number of decisions, the most
important of which are the famous Hol-
combe cases. involving the titles:to sew
eral tracts of land now in the city of st.
Paul, which were sold to satisfy mort
gage some years ago. The syllabi are
as follows:
Edwin r. HOIcOmbe, appellant. Ellen
3. Richards and Charles Richards, re-
spondentS.
Syllabus-When a mortgage of lands
in this state, given to secure debt due
to the mortgage residing in another
state, contained power to the mort
gage, his executors, administrators, or
assigns in case of default of the condi-
lions of the mortgage to sell and con-
Vey the premises according to the stat
ute in such case made and provided, the
power of sale might be exercised by the
administrator appointed by The pro-
bate court in the state where the
mortgage resided, even prior
to the enactment of chapter Al, General
Laws, 1876 General Statutes, 1876, chap
ter 81, section PSI. The exercises of such
power rested upon the convention of the
parties, as expressed in the mortgage,
and not upon the authority of the pro
bate court of the other state. The statute
referred to was not grant of author
ity but a mere regulation as to the man
ner of its exercise. A delivery of deed
to the real beneficiary of the grant OF
the person to whose benefit it will inure
is good without any delivery to the per
son named as grantee in the deed.
Hence, when deed to A will inure to
the benefit of B, by reason of covenants
of title or particular recitals in former
deed from A to B of the same premises,
the delivery to B of a curative deed run.
ming to A as grantee will be good with
out any delivery to A. Order affirmed
